That's funny ... about 30 years ago, a friend walked into my apartment and said, oh my God, you're depressed, and set to cleaning the place from top to bottom.
Afterwards - I helped of course, I felt so much better. TO have my place clean made a huge difference to my mood, and to have cleaned it with someone who cared that much - that was important too. I've recognized it as a symptom of depression ever since.
The accomplishment of things I've been putting off is also a big anxiety reliever.
But most important of all is exercise. If I get a good bout of strenuous exercise, it chases the devils away. Not forever, obviously, but for a time.
